The Next Space Frontier

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) have revolutionized navigation and positioning, providing accurate location information worldwide. GNSS systems, such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou, rely on a constellation of satellites to broadcast signals enabling receivers to determine their precise position. Current trends in GNSS involve increased accuracy, reliability, and accessibility, with advancements like multi-constellation and multi-frequency receivers enhancing performance.

Evolution in GNSS technology includes the deployment of next-generation satellites with improved capabilities and the integration of augmentation systems for enhanced accuracy in challenging environments. Projections indicate continued expansion of GNSS applications across various sectors, including transportation, agriculture, telecommunications, and emergency services, with an estimated market value of over $320 billion by 2025. These advancements promise to further empower industries and individuals with reliable, high-precision positioning capabilities, driving innovation and economic growth.

Overview of the GNSS Course

SEAC professional online Space GNSS course is a program aiming at providing students with a comprehensive understanding of satellite navigation technology and its applications. Throughout the course, participants will focus on the principles of satellite navigation, including the functioning of satellite constellations, signal transmission, and receiver operation.

Global Positioning System (GPS) is analysed as the primary satellite navigation system. Additionally, they will explore other systems like Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou. The students of GNSS System will focus on the different types of receivers, design considerations, and signal processing techniques to interpret satellite data accurately. This will be followed by the different augmentation systems (SBAS and GBAS) , as well as error sources when using the systems. Students will also make use of real case studies to interpret satellite data accurately.
